Pros

Decent pay, Depending on area decent traffic, commission is back to individual, great staff, benefits, technology improvements for sales, data updates, well detailed sales insights. What really sucks, I had a great experience at Verizon overall amazing company until I deployed, got diagnosed with PTSD and Anxiety disorder had to take STD leave, ran out of days and was forced back to work although I wasn’t ready and had to let it go at least for a while to get my life under control while moving states. I wanted to transfer but was not giving those options

Cons

Overworked, Heavy/Annoying pressure to force a sale that isn’t there, won’t be rehired if you take STD Leave, not a fan of Sedgwick, micromanagement sometimes, retail schedules aren’t for everyone, no part-time anymore, claims to be military friendly won’t rehire me for STD leave post deployment, wouldn’t let me transfer to my new state which forced me to resign (waited 6 months) won’t be rehired. No disciplinary actions, good performance, never late etc. It hurt but now I’m moving forward. Do better in the future Verizon, I really enjoyed working for you all

Pros

First, pay is really good and they are certainly competitive with the market. Second, benefits are great. Besides the standard 401k matching (6%), health benefits (which are decent), short-term incentive bonuses, and in office perks (gym etc) there are additional bonuses paid out as Stock Together grants and a healthy amount of learning and educational assistance. Verizon is still hybrid and looks to be staying that way.

Cons

The culture is one of experimentation and freedom, which is good, but a lot of the benefits of that favor those that kiss upwards the most versus actually delivering anything of real value. The continuous massaging of results to appear better than they are, or the rewording of initiatives to make them new yet they are the same old initiatives over and over. This makes the place seem more like a place where ingenuity and innovation are strived for but rarely actually achieved. Siloed workstreams with teams working on the same things continue to happen even after all of the reorgs and their attempts to fix. There is also a significant shift towards off-shore support models (for obvious cost reasons) and there have been several decisions in the last few years to chop entire departments and remove them or sell them to other companies.
